After a fun filled week on the farm, nothing says "let's take it easy" better than attending a "No Kings" protest in a strongly Republican town. Blind Hog and Acorn were flipped the bird several times, several pro-Trump drivers kept coming back, honking their horns, letting loose with air horns.  Not sure if they knew that their behavior was exactly what the other folks were doing while driving to support the protestors!Hot, humid, almost daily rain showers.  Garden is really going crazy.  A powerwasher uncovered the overgrown brick patio at the Springfield house.  Still a bunch of work to be done on that.  Strawberry mooooon was lovely!

This week, Energy Voice Out Loud (EVOL) looks at the UK's spending review as Scottish energy secretary Gillian Martin says "we need more welders", and a former oil worker writes to Nigel Farage for support.  First up, the EVOL trio of Aberdeen features lead Ryan Duff, reporter Mat Perry, and E-FWD editor Ed Reed discuss Westminster's support for Acorn. It finally happened, the UK government committed to stumping up cash for the Acorn and Viking CCS projects, however, its spending review document was a little light on details. It's worth noting that after this week's recording session, Ed Miliband appeared in Peterhead to announce £200m for Acron. Next up, news editor Erikka Askeland spoke with Gillian Martin about the importance of welders in the energy transition as the first cohort of learners on a welding and fabrication pilot training scheme graduated as part of a £100,000 program funded by Ocean Winds. Finally, we discuss Reform UK and its support for nuclear (which seems to be aligned with Labour's love of reactors) and its disdain for turbines. However, when Reform gets into power, is it really as against the "utter madness" of net zero as leader Nigel Farage lets on?

All 60 nannies and kids were run through the working station- tagged, vaccinated, dewormed, castrated, weighed and feet trimmed.  Took 8 hrs and several liters of water, including four breaks.  Blind Hog and Acorn almost fell out.  Good news is that the job is DONE!  The scales however gave crazy readings.  Will have to work on that some more...The last goose eggs hatched.  One buyer is taking every gosling that hatches and luckily the male/female ratio is only off by one.  The buyers will be gifted the extra male.A trip to Crystal Bridges museum was had.  A nice day off for the farmers.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE Learning and loving to read is a journey for every child. Today, we're focusing on that particular moment when a child is building their reading confidence to make a leap from picture books to chapter books. It's an exciting time, but it's also high stakes: it presents a small window that can either launch a child into a love of reading on their own or intimidate them if they find it overwhelming. That's where Scholastic comes in. In today's episode, former elementary school teacher and current Editorial Director of Scholastic's Acorn early readers and Branches early chapter books lines, Katie Carella, is back in the studio with guest-host Billy DiMichele to talk about this magical moment in a child's literacy journey. And joining the podcast for the first time is Bernard Mensah, author of beloved Branches series Kwame's Magic Quest. Over the years, Branches has helped grow so many readers through highly illustrated, early chapter books that kids devour. Currently with 58 million books in print and 34 published series, the line has experienced a “meteoric” rise since we last spoke about this important line in 2019 when it had about 17 million books and about 25 series in print. Listen on to find out what's behind this meteoric rise, to get a glimpse of Kwame's magical world, and to learn about Bernard's passion for writing for the Branches age group and representing Ghanaian culture in children's books. And stay to the end for a read aloud sneak peek! →Resources About Branches: https://www.scholastic.com/site/branches.html About Kwame's Magic Quest: https://www.scholastic.com/site/branches/kwame-s-magic-quest.html Fuse #8 Blog Review from Betsy Bird: https://afuse8production.slj.com/2025/02/04/the-fast-paced-page-turning-adventure-series-thats-a-celebration-of-african-cultures-bernard-mensah-discusses-kwames-magic-quest/ More listening: Scholastic Reads!

Growing Readers with Branches and Acorn from 2019! →Highlights _Katie Carella: Editorial Director, Acorn & Branches, Scholastic _ “Having been a 1st-3rd grade teachers myself, I'm always excited to talk about that very exciting point in a child's reading journey where they begin to read books independently. You get to see that light go off and it's just the best feeling ever.” “All of the Branches books have a second grade reading level. But the books all feature really rich, layered plots so they do appeal to children across many grade levels. From Kindergarten, I'd say up through fourth and even fifth grade, especially now with reading levels behind where they should be. So it's more important than ever to have these “high-low” books. These books are high-interest, layered plots and yet written at a lower reading level.” “If a child chooses a book that's too easy for them the child can speed through it and they gain fluency and stamina. If they choose a book that's slightly too hard for them, the child might struggle, but if they want to read they will do the work. And they'll learn decoding skills along the way. So both experiences ultimately grow a child's vocabulary and their reading skill set.” “The accolades [for Kwame's Magic Quest] keep coming in…it was highlighted on Betsy Bird's Fuse #8 blog…I just wanted to say a quote she had in her blog, ‘it's amazing how much story Mensah and Nayo [the illustrator] are able to pack into this thing.' You are getting this really rich and magical world that Bernard has created but in this really digestible format.” _Bernard Mensah, Author, Kwame's Magic Quest _ “[Kwame's Magic Quest] has got that mix of authenticity, friendship, lots and lots of magic, some peril and danger, there's evil magicians and spells. I think it brings together a lot of things that you would typically find exciting if you wanted to read a book about magic or an epic adventure.” “[on working with the illustrator Natasha Nayo] Having an illustrator who came from the same background who understands the cultural context of some of things that I was trying to put across, I could rely on the art to do some of the talking for me. She brought her own unique flare.” “My son, when he was about five years old, I remember looking at his bookshelf and thinking to myself, well, I've managed to find stories for him or write something that speaks to his culture at every age. Where is the book that speaks to him from five to eight years old? And I couldn't find it so foolishly I thought to myself, well, I'll write it. And that's where the idea for Kwame's Magic Quest came from.” On what the characters would do over summer break, “By the end of the summer they would probably save the world again because that's what they do in every book. They come close to not doing it but they find a way to rally together and make magic safe again for everybody.” →Special Thanks Producers: Anne Sparkman, Allyson Barkan, and Maxine Osa Sound engineer: S.

Blind Hog is clipping the fields, already "that time" again...  Early blast of summer temps at the farm, upper 80's!  he has the first three paddocks done, a couple more on the west side then he can do the two in the east.Acorn has been wrangling black snakes from around the geese and chickens... The snakes do love eggs...Garden is coming along nicely- strawberries ripening. Almost time to plant pole beans.  Sweet potato slips putting out lots of roots.  Those will be planted in tubs this year.  Will find out if that is a good idea or not...

Barney Reason is a recovering food addict who has also overcome addictions to alcohol, drugs, and compulsive behaviors. His journey began early—he had his first drink at age 7 and got sober from alcohol by 25 years old. But as the alcohol stopped, his food addiction escalated, leading him to a peak weight of 365 pounds.  Barney grew up in a deeply unstable environment, marked by abuse, neglect, and chaos—he lived in 16 different homes in 16 years. As a child, his emotions, especially anger, were not welcomed or validated. In response, he turned to food, substances, and compulsive behaviors to soothe his anxiety and numb his pain.  For years, Barney sought relief from overwhelming feelings, not realizing that the intensity of his emotions was part of being human. Today, he embraces those feelings, knowing they pass, and feels more alive than ever.  Barney's recovery has been long and difficult, but he now uses his experience to help others find hope and healing through 12-step recovery. Barney became a Certified Food Addiction Professional (https://infactschool.com/treatment-certification-program/) through the the INFACT School (https://infactschool.com/) He is on staff at SHiFT, Recovery by Acorn (https://foodaddiction.com/) a food addiction treatment program which is committed to supporting people recover from food addiction and lead better lives.    He helps with SHiFT's Intensive Treatment program, where attendees learn to experience sobriety from addictive eating, along with the incredible new freedom.    Barney Reason's story is a powerful testament to resilience, transformation, and the possibility of achieving lasting freedom from addiction, as well as the gifts of helping others recover.

Acorn was complaining about lagging internet speeds and dropped cell signal, so she and Blind Hog raided up the cell phone amplifier antenna higher on the roof- moving it to the peak as well as puttin git on a 10' mast.  Already speeds have increased from -114 dB to -102 dB and sometimes even faster!  it is the little things...Garden doing well, had its first irrigation today.  Sam has been enjoying almost daily walkies for 2.5 miles, keeps those toenails trimmed on the dirt road.Goats doing well in the woods, as are the ticks that have gotten on them- they will be dealt with here tomorrow says Acorn.Blind Hog has been keeping the yard mowed and the songbirds fed. Hummingbirds back in full force, orioles still hanging around with the rose breasted grosbeaks.  All is swell at the farm!

In this illuminating conversation, astrologer Mark Jones joins host Tony Howard to explore the profound philosophical contributions of Dane Rudhyar to modern astrology. They discuss how Rudhyar's humanistic approach transformed predictive astrology into a tool for self-actualization and spiritual growth.Mark explains how Rudhyar, influenced by 20th century psychology and his background as a classical composer, developed key concepts including the "seed principle" and cyclical time. They explore how Rudhyar viewed birth charts not as static deterministic blueprints but as symbolic representations of potential that unfolds through time—comparing it to an acorn containing the pattern for the oak tree it might become.This episode offers valuable insights into how Rudhyar's vision of astrology as "a yoga with one's destiny" continues to influence contemporary astrological practice, providing a framework that balances cosmic patterns with human agency. Perfect for both astrology enthusiasts and those interested in the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and cosmic symbolism.

As April 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the Arm architecture, I am re-releasing my episode with Steve Furber. What began as an ambitious project in a small corner of Cambridge, U.K., has grown into the world's most widely adopted computing architecture, now powering billions of devices – from sensors, smartphones and laptops to vehicles, datacenters and beyond.It was at 3pm on 26th April 1985, the chip that led to the world's first commercial RISC processor powered up... and changed the world!Steve Furber is a seminal computer scientist, mathematician and hardware designer whose work includes the BBC Microcomputer and the ARM 32-bit RISC microprocessor which can be found in over 100 billion devices today.Steve studied both Maths followed by a PhD in Aerodynamics at Cambridge University before joining Herman Hauser and Chris Curry at Acorn Computers. For the next decade, he would work with a first-class team of engineers and designers to revolutionise the home computer market before he and Sophie Wilson went on to design the ARM processor with a relatively small team and budget and with little inkling of the consequence it might bring to the world.In 1990, Steve left Acorn moved to Manchester where he is now Professor of Computer Engineering at the university there. He was charged with leading research into asynchronous systems, low-power electronics and neural engineering which  led to the SpiNNaker project - a super computer incorporating a million ARM processors which are optimised for computational neuroscience. He is basically trying to reverse engineer the brain – a lofty ambition even by his own admission.In this wide-ranging conversation, we discuss Steve's life journey from studying maths with professors such as the famed John Conway and Sir James Lighthill to the highs and lows of building the BBC Micro and the story behind the ARM 32-bit RISC microprocessor.I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Steve and am overly excited about his SpiNNaker project which we also discuss today.Enjoy!--------------Steve Furber info / SpiNNaker info / Micro Men filmDanielle on Twitter @daniellenewnham and  Instagram @daniellenewnham   / Newsletter Watch Steve and Sophie talk about those early arm days tomorrow - buy your tickets here.

Rain is back and well needed- that last deluge all ran off.  Still no morels found but Acorn did see asparagus in the garden today!5 lil' honkers off to their new home, more eggs in the incubator and some still under an actual goose.  Acorn rescued an egg from a black snake, may think about bringing in the other eggs for artificial incubation if the gooses don't settle down on them.House is getting cleaned, screens up in the windows, meals on the porch.  Houseplants back outside. Now to get the rest of the garden planted!

Finally got the rain, and as of this writing, Acorn reports 5.38" which is in the 5-7" rain in the forecast.  During the first round, Acorn noticed flapping sheet metal on the old goat barn rood- during a "window of opportunity" Blind Hog fetched the Mahindra and Acorn clambered up the roof, screwing down the loose panels.  All fixed!Between roof repairs, working in the garden, baking bread and scone Acorn managed to sit down and actually read an entire book. Imagine!Spring cleaning in full swing- master bedroom, closet and dressers got the "black contractor bag" treatment.Goslings set to hatch end of next week- so far, the seven eggs look good!

It took 2 more days before she showed up with the wee bairn. Yes, Acorn got more than a little teary eyed.All in all, a very good week. Could use some real rain though. Just sayin'...

Are you interested in slowing down the aging process?  Would you like to learn more about some of the most exciting buzz words in the aesthetic industry - exosomes, growth factors and stem cells? In this riveting episode, we sit down with Drew Taylor, Co-Founder and CEO of Acorn Biolabs, the regenerative medicine company at the forefront of a new era in anti-aging and longevity. Acorn Biolabs offers people the ability to preserve their own stem cells for use in future cosmetic treatments, including skin rejuvenation and hair regrowth, via a process called cryopreservation. While further research is underway, these advanced treatments also show promise in benefiting orthopedic conditions and the treatment of certain diseases in the future. After harvesting your own stem cells by plucking 50 hairs from the back of the head, Acorn then cryopreserves (freezes) them to be later utilized in topical formulations to rejuvenate our bodies. Taylor, who has a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Toronto, takes us on a deep dive into regenerative medicine and explains more about stem cells and how exosomes work “Think of them as a delivery system, as the Amazon Prime of the human body,” he says.What we're witnessing is a non-invasive solution to leverage our own stem cells for personalized regenerative medicine. Are you ready to harness your body's ability to rejuvenate your skin and hair?

Weeklong wildfires to the south of the farm- Acorn's throat is none too happy.  Smoke haze thick at times, hills looking right blue.Purple martins beginning to hang around- will need to get the gourds up soon.  Watercress spring is providing fresh greens for the geese- Acorn spotted minnows for the first time there.Blind Hog aggravated a shoulder as he cut then loaded up dead trees and limbs after the big windstorm.  Good thing Acorn baked lots of treats to keep him happy and fuel his recovery.  Sam will opt for a nap...  Acorn continues to get the garden beds ready for planting.

Are you using AI in your business yet, or are you still skeptical? In this "sales snack" episode, Krista takes you behind the scenes of her own journey from being a complete AI skeptic to becoming a convert. She's spent the last nine months studying how AI can enhance (not replace) your authentic voice in sales messaging, and she's ready to spill the beans! You'll hear why most people get terrible, robotic-sounding outputs from AI and how Krista's breakthrough discovery of building comprehensive sales messaging guides can transform your results. She walks you through how the ACORN method creates the perfect foundation for effective AI use and even shares a real-life example of creating an email in just 35 minutes (versus her usual 2 hours) that was so good, no one could tell the difference! Whether you're AI-curious or AI-resistant, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on using this technology in a way that maintains your unique brand voice while saving you tons of time. In this episode we cover: Why Krista was initially SO resistant to using AI for sales messaging [01:49] The problem with generic AI outputs and why most people sound like boring robots [04:25] Different types of AI Krista uses in her business beyond just content creation [07:12] The curse of knowledge and why our own brains get in the way of effective AI prompts [11:34] How the ACORN method creates the perfect sequential building blocks for killer AI content [15:28] Krista's real-life story of creating an ACORN Insider email in 35 minutes versus 2 hours [22:26] Finding the sweet spot between AI assistance and human creativity [26:51] Grab your spot in ACORN Sell Anything: www.kristademcher.com/sellanythingsignature --- Follow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfQNMxt1N_x6vO_dnizVu2g Follow SHE SELLS HE SELLS on IG: https://www.instagram.com/shesellshesellspodcast

The acorn seed is far more than just a little nut—it's a self-contained factory, complete with a built-in plumbing system, electrical network, and the ability to replicate itself indefinitely. Every acorn holds a fully programmed blueprint for life, packed with all the information needed to transform into one of the strongest trees on Earth.   Could something this intricate really be the product of random evolution, or does it point to the mind of an all-knowing Creator? From its self-sustaining design to its ability to create entire forests, the acorn is a powerful testimony to God's engineering genius.   Join Eric Hovind and special guest Dennis Siler as we explore the miracle of the acorn and what it reveals about the God who invented this incredible design.   Watch this Podcast on Video at: https://creationtoday.org/on-demand-classes/the-acorn-code-built-in-intelligence-that-baffles-evolution-creation-today-show-414/  Join Eric LIVE each Wednesday at 12 Noon CT for conversations with Experts.
